substitute: Habanero powder to Habanero Puree

What would you all feel is a good equation substitute for habanero powder, in using Habanero Puree.

1/2 C of habanero Powder = XX of Habanero puree.

I'm not looking for an exact ratio, just a good starting point.
 
ah, making the habanero facial mask, I see.

I have not done this substitution, but I would guess that since a fresh pepper puree is 90-95% water by volume (if not more), you'd need to increase by ten to twentyfold. five to ten cups is my guess, if you're shooting for the same habanero content.
 
When drying chiles 10 pounds of fresh dries to about 1 pound.
